The budding romance between Arg and Gemma has been brewing for some time but their secret tryst was not revealed until yesterday.

Arg, 24, had kept quiet about his relations with Gemma, 31, but confided in his best friends Joey Essex and James 'Diags' Bennewith at the Jubilee themed party.

With a cheeky mischievous grin, he admitted to the boys that she had performed a sexual act on him whilst they laid in bed together during a stint at boot camp in Marbella, Spain.

He said: 'I got into bed with Gemma and she gave me a hand job.'

Unsure about his feelings when Joey asked if he thought anything more would become of their friendship due to the fact they get along really well, Arg said, 'There is chemistry… basically she’s a pretty girl in the face, but we’ve both got pretty bad metabolisms.'

He then quipped, 'But when I've had a few drinks it could happen.'

The surprise news about the bubbly pair quickly spread around the party and soon enough Gemma was informed that Arg had been boasting about it to people.

Although she was slightly angered by his big mouth, Gemma followed Arg out of the party to confess her feelings to him.

Concealing her curves in a conservative blue dress, the former car saleswoman said: 'I love you Arg'.

He replied: 'I think you’re amazing… you have a big bubbly personality like me', and then they shared a very delicate kiss before giggling like school children.

While Arg' finally appears to have moved on from his ex-girlfriend Lydia, she also started a new relationship with Tom Kilbey.

The 21-year-olds met on the dance floor and had their first kiss after Lydia told Tom that she thinks Arg has moved on and they can be free to do what they like now.

Her presumption was correct as her ex had earlier apologised to her mother Debbie for saying nasty hurtful words about Lydia, before bursting into tears and hugging her.
